MEC 600 Jr. Mark 5 Single Stage Shotshell Press - 12 Gauge, 2-3/4" & 3"$298.68
Availability: In Stock
The MEC 600 Jr. Mark 5 single stage shotshell press is purpose-built for 20-gauge reloaders who want straightforward, reliable performance without unnecessary complexity. This press handles both 2-3/4" and 3" shells, giving you the flexibility to work with standard and magnum loads from a single machine. If you're loading your own shotshells to keep costs down and customize your load, the Mark 5's no-frills design delivers consistent results without the learning curve of more elaborate systems.
Single-stage presses like the MEC 600 Jr. require you to complete one operation at a time—sizing, priming, charging, and seating—but that methodical approach actually encourages quality control. You're not cranking through a progressive machine on autopilot; you're hands-on with each round. The press is engineered to move through your workflow efficiently, capable of processing four to six boxes per hour depending on your technique and familiarity. That's a realistic pace for serious reloaders who value consistency over pure volume.
The Mark 5 designation indicates this is the current iteration of an established design, meaning the engineering is proven and parts support is solid. The press mounts to a bench or reloading table and doesn't demand much space. If your volume grows or you want to streamline the priming step, the press can be upgraded with optional priming accessories that let you handle primers in batches rather than individually—a genuine time-saver for high-volume shooters.

Yes, the MEC 600 Jr. Mark 5 can be upgraded with optional priming accessories that allow you to load primers in batches rather than individually, which saves time if you're loading larger volumes.
